We have 3 IBM NetVistas, each running a different version of

unfamiliar with the world of OpenBSD and how you "patch" the OS.
How would I go about updating these various systems to deal with
the changes to US Daylight Saving Time that will occur this year?
Best is to upgrade each to 4.0, then to 4.1 as it becomes available.
Upgrades must be done step by step, from 3.x to 3.x+1, then to 3.x+2 ...
There are administrative changes that must happen manually in
addition to the automated
code upgrades. These manual steps are well-documented. See http://
www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade40.html
and follow the links at the bottom back to the starting point of your
successive upgrade chain.
However, I believe that chain only goes back to 3.4, so you may well
be stuck with a reinstall
on the older machines. Probably best by now!
